Uniform consistency
Approve fabric, colour reference, measurements, collar or neckline, logo placement and size ratio. Document replenishment expectations and any department-wise packing before production.
Esplandea manufactures corporate tshirts and knitted uniform programmes in Tirupur, India for companies, institutions, events and export buyers. Product options include Polo, round neck, performance, V-neck, embroidered and sublimation tshirts, hoodies, sweatshirts and jackets with buyer-approved fabric, GSM, colour, branding, labels, packing and inspection requirements. Standard 140–260 GSM references and custom 280/300/320 GSM options are reviewed per programme.
A corporate order needs the right garment for employees, a reliable size allocation and consistent branding across locations. Esplandea reviews polo, crew-neck and performance tshirt briefs from its Tirupur manufacturing base. Start with the work environment and wear frequency, then approve materials, logo execution and delivery instructions for the actual programme.
| Use to discuss | Fabric / GSM starting point | Decision before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| Office, retail or hospitality polo | Cotton or blended pique; compare 200–240 GSM | Collar shape, appearance, care routine and embroidery finish. |
| Employee event or promotional crew neck | Cotton or CVC single jersey; compare 180–220 GSM | Opacity, comfort, print area and intended wear. |
| Active team or outdoor event | Performance polyester; compare 160–180 GSM | Fabric feel, decoration compatibility and any buyer-specified assessment. |
| Buyer-specific uniform | Interlock, stretch or other approved construction | Review the reference garment and end use before setting GSM and finishing. |
Separate garment styles and fits, then collect the employee size requirement for each department or delivery location. The chart below is a corporate polo reference; use the relevant product chart for crew necks or other garments. A fit trial with representative wearers helps identify a need for a different pattern before bulk production.
Send the approved logo file, brand colour reference, logo dimensions and placement measured from a garment seam. Identify any department names or personalised details separately. If one programme mixes polos and crew necks, review the logo on both fabric surfaces rather than assuming one approved decoration will look identical on every garment.
State whether cartons should be packed by branch, employee group, colour or size. Include labels or delivery-location codes in the packing brief. For future top-ups, retain the approved garment, chart, artwork and colour reference; confirm new material availability, shade, quantity and timing when the repeat order is placed.
Give the date employees must receive garments, not just the event date. Allow review of sampling stages, approval response times, production and each delivery destination before accepting milestones. A late size list, revised artwork or additional branch shipment should trigger a schedule review.
These are garment measurements, not body measurements. Approve the fit sample, measurement method and tolerances before production. Custom size charts are reviewed with the order specification.

Measure chest width flat below the armhole, body length from the high shoulder point to the hem, and sleeve length from shoulder seam to sleeve hem. State your measuring point and wash condition in the approved specification.
| Placement example | Method to discuss | What the buyer approves |
|---|---|---|
| Company identity on a polo chest | Embroidery | Logo scale, thread colours, backing comfort and fabric distortion. |
| Campaign design on a crew-neck front | Screen print | Artwork dimensions, print colours, coverage and hand feel. |
| Department mark on a sleeve | Embroidery or suitable transfer | Legibility, placement and consistent position across sizes. |
| Full-colour team artwork | Suitable transfer or polyester sublimation | Material compatibility, colour sample and agreed wash requirements. |
A starting point of 50 pieces per colour and design may be considered for suitable programmes, subject to fabric availability, construction, trims and production feasibility. Custom dyeing, special collars and mixed styles can change the accepted quantity. The written quotation confirms the accepted quantity and size split for each style, colour and design.
Specify whether you need a fabric reference, fit sample, logo trial, size set or complete pre-production sample. Sample charges, development or setup costs, courier charges, revisions and any adjustment against a bulk order are confirmed in writing before development. A sample request does not automatically include free samples or a refundable charge.
Share the required arrival date and destination when requesting a quote. Material sourcing, sample approvals, production, decoration, inspection and transit are planned separately. Accepted milestones are confirmed after the specification and factory loading are reviewed. Changes to artwork, colour, quantities or approval dates may require a revised schedule.
The written offer records garment specifications, accepted quantities, price basis, decoration, labels, packing, payment terms and delivery responsibilities. Confirm whether sampling, taxes, freight, insurance, import clearance and duties are included or priced separately. An estimate or reference chart becomes an order commitment only when accepted in the programme documents.
Share the garment style, end use, fabric or reference sample, target GSM, colours, quantities by size, logo artwork, labels, packing and destination. Include your target budget and arrival date so alternatives can be compared against the same brief.

Request a product quotation | Discuss a sample
Use the same fabric percentages, GSM, style, size ratio, colours, logo dimensions, decoration method and packing instructions. Ask each quotation to show sampling, setup, freight and taxes where applicable. A low garment-only figure does not describe the complete uniform programme.
Branch-wise or size-wise packing can be reviewed with the programme brief. Provide each allocation and destination before quotation approval so packing work, labels, freight responsibilities and delivery milestones can be confirmed.
Sample charges and dates follow review of the garment, material, colour, logo and approval stages. The written plan confirms the sample scope, courier costs, revisions, accepted quantities and production milestones. No universal free-sample or fixed-dispatch offer applies.
Product mix, fabric, colour, size ratios, branding, labels, packing, quantity, destination and delivery requirements are reviewed together and confirmed in the written specification and quotation.
Pantone references can be developed through lab dips and approved before production processing. The approval method depends on the selected fabric and programme.
Dates are confirmed in writing after material availability, sampling, approvals, quantity, decoration, packing, destination and factory loading are reviewed.
Quality checkpoints can cover measurements, shade, construction, workmanship, decoration, labels and packing against approved references, including AQL 1.5 where agreed.
A coordinated programme can use approved colour, artwork, logo placement, label and packing references across polo, round-neck, sweatshirt or jacket styles.
Share the garment mix, fabric and GSM, colours, size chart and ratios, artwork, decoration, labels, packing, quantity, destination and target delivery window.
Programmes can combine Polo, round-neck, V-neck or performance tshirts with hoodies, sweatshirts or lightweight jackets. The buyer confirms intended use, product mix, size ratio, brand colours, logo placements, labels, packing and destination requirements before quotation and sampling.
Fabric composition, knit, GSM, finish and care requirements are selected for the approved end use. Pantone references and lab dips can support colour approval. Embroidery, screen printing, heat transfer and sublimation are reviewed against the fabric, artwork, dimensions, placement and performance requirement.
The approval sequence may include fabric or shade development, fit sample, decoration strike-off, size-set review and pre-production sample. Quality checkpoints can cover measurements, shade, construction, workmanship, decoration, labels and packing, including AQL 1.5 where agreed. Dates are confirmed after materials, approvals, quantity, decoration, packing, destination and factory loading are reviewed.
There is no universal product price, payment term or production schedule.

Corporate supply programmes
Corporate buyers need repeatable colours, sizes, logo placement and packing controls. The garment should be selected around use, climate, wash frequency, workforce size and replenishment needs rather than one generic corporate tshirt.
Approve fabric, colour reference, measurements, collar or neckline, logo placement and size ratio. Document replenishment expectations and any department-wise packing before production.
Review embroidery, screen print, transfer or other approved decoration against the selected fabric. Names, departments, barcodes and individual packing require clear data and approval controls.
Share rollout locations, required sizes, delivery destinations and target dates. Sample charges, accepted quantities, production milestones and delivery dates are confirmed in writing.
